OUR EXPERTISE:

Corporate Performance Improvement and TransformationWe partner with companies to drive significant, sustainable business performance improvement across operations by seizing the right growth opportunities and improving profitability in the face of top and bottom-line challenges. As well as supporting transformation of complete enterprises, we provide specialist services in growth and revenue enhancement, supply chain operations, finance and accounting, business technology, human capital and organizational change.

Companies call us when they need to address a tough performance challenge, whether initiated internally or as a reaction to activist investor interest.

Disputes and Investigations We are trusted partners for business investigations, litigation consulting, accounting crises, forensic technology and expert witness support. We present findings in regulatory, criminal, civil and other proceedings and have worked on some of the most significant investigative and dispute cases across Europe and beyond.

Private Equity Services We provide an integrated approach for private equity firms to improve performance across the PE investment lifecycle. Pre-deal, we assess the value generation potential of target businesses. During the due diligence phase we provide operational due diligence in an integrated offering with our transaction services team to reflect the value generation potential in the underlying business valuation parameters. Post-deal, we develop 100 / 200 day plans; improve reporting, cash and working capital management; plan and execute carve-out; design and initiate performance improvement programs; execute value-critical changes and get your business ready for onward sale with onsite support in interim management roles, if required.

Transaction AdvisoryWith one of the largest global transaction advisory teams, unrestricted by audit-based conflicts, we work with private equity firms, hedge funds and corporate acquirers to help them make informed investment decisions. We provide integrated financial, operational and commercial due diligence services on both buy- and sell-side, including carve-out analysis and pricing advisory.

Corporate Restructuring and Turnaround ManagementOur practice offers critical assistance to companies that are underperforming, are in a crisis, or are healthy, but with underperforming divisions. We collaborate with company management and serve in interim roles to stabilize financial and operational performance by developing and implementing comprehensive profitability and working capital plans. A&M's involvement reassures creditors and investors that the company is taking steps to address its problems and maximize its value. To that end, we assist companies with liquidity management, business plan development, implementation of restructuring and transformation plans, interim management services and providing third parties with an independent business review (IBR) or an S6 restructuring opinion.

We solve the most complex and challenging valuation issues for clients, including fairness opinions, IDW S1 valuations, financial reporting and tax valuations, portfolio valuations for fund investments, valuations for claims and disputes, and strategic option evaluation.
